For legal firms technology is often perceived as something to which the individual or organisation must adapt. This whitepaper proposes an alternative view - that technology should be viewed as a trusted partner that can help adapt to the changes facing contemporary legal firms.

The NSW police force has equipped its 280 in-court prosecutors with Lexis Red. "It's a significant saving for a government legal department," Inspector Brendan Searson says. "It gives the prosecutors immediate access to critical resources that are up to date and is an efficient and sustainable solution."

The NSW Police Force has deployed 280 iPads equipped with a law resources app to its in-court police prosecutors. The tablet, and accompanying LexisNexis-built app, will replace 6.8kg of paper previously required in court for legal research and referencing.

A new legal research application, Lexis Red, is being used by each prosecutor in an attempt to streamline and improve the efficiency of the Australian state's justice system. Rather than head to court with heavy legal books on a daily basis, each iPad weighs roughly 600g - and the idea is an iPad will allow access to legal referencing material in a more effective manner.

The NSW Police Force has issued all of its 280 in-court prosecutors with Apple iPads, to facilitate the use of a new legal research app, Lexis Red.
State prosecutors deal with 95 per cent of criminal and related prosecutions within local courts and provide around-the-clock legal advice to the police force.

What will the life of a lawyer look like in the future? How will the knowledge gathering & sharing process change? What impact will mobile technology and social media have on the legal profession? LexisNexis Pacific Head of Product Strategy, Frank McKenna, examines the opportunities ahead in 'The Mobile Lawyer: Knowledge Gathering in a Connected World', published in the May issue of the Law Society of South Australia Bulletin.

Meet the technologies that are lightening the load for lawyers and changing the way they work with the click of a button, in this article, 'The eBook Revolution' from the July issue of the LIV's Law Institute Journal.

How do I transfer my titles from my current version of LexisNexis Red to the new version of Lexis Red?

We will have an automated transfer, or sync, of all non-expired content once a customer downloads the new Lexis Red app on any compatible device. This sync is an automated one-time only transfer of highlights and annotations to Lexis Red, and will include the transfer of your own work.

Note – No further transfers will occur beyond this one-time only automated sync. Therefore, once you have downloaded the new version of the application we recommend that you delete the previous version.

Note – The choice to transfer to the new version of Lexis Red is on a per user, not per customer, basis. Each user must download the new version of the application onto their own device.

I am unable to download the installation files and/or content. What should I do?

If you are unable to download the installation files, it could be due to a network firewall or network proxy blocking the download. Some networks prevent the download of software installation files to prevent the spread of malware. Please contact your IT department to verify if this is the reason for being unable to download the software.

The application is designed to be accessible both online and offline. However, you will need access to the internet for the following functions:

1. To download or upgrade the application

2. Initial login/download of the content purchased

3. For content updates

4. For annotations to be synced to our server (the Cloud) and between your devices

Can I sync between laptop and iPad versions?

Yes, you can sync between your devices.

Syncing between the devices will only occur if you are using the same version of the app. Thus, LexisNexis Red (the old version of the app) will not sync with Lexis Red (the new version of the app). Therefore, we recommend you download the new version of the application on any device you wish to use to access Lexis Red.

Lexis Red provides Digital Library portal access for Librarians and Knowledge Managers to manage the eLending of publications to their users.

Features include:

Access to a secure portal to monitor and manage eLending.

Borrower and lender controls: a borrower can borrow an available title or return a borrowed title or request an already borrowed title; whilst a lender can lend, extend and withdraw a title.

Librarians and Knowledge Managers can share the same publication across multiple borrowers, multiple times over a subscription period on a one-on-one basis.

Why would a customer want it?

Cost efficiency – Provides scale through access to a broader range of Lexis Red titles to a wider group of people.

Time and storage savings - Save time otherwise spent waiting for a hardcopy title to arrive, whilst using less shelf storage space.

An improved library service – Reduction in issues stemming from titles being in transit, lost in the office or awaiting the filing of updates.

Control over accounts – Provides Librarians and Knowledge Managers the flexibility to control the accounts and subscriptions of users, whilst monitoring the use or need of the services with their users.

Each loan title can be accessed by one user at any given time. If your firm has multiple subscriptions to a title on Lexis Red, then multiple users will be able to borrow that title.

Can I use the Lexis Red Digital Library to access a title which my firm does not subscribe to?

Your firm must have a loan subscription account type and at least one Lexis Red subscription to the title you wish to borrow.

What if I want to borrow a title from my firm's library but someone else is using it?

You can request the title by clicking on the 'Request' button. This will send a notification to your firm’s Knowledge Manager. Your firm’s Knowledge Manager can then assign the title to you once it has been returned.

If I move from one law firm to another and use the same e-mail will I be able to keep my annotations?

Yes, you can. Your annotations are associated with your e-mail address, so provided you continue to use the same e-mail address you can continue to view and edit your annotations.
